El Oso Road to Four Peaks

Hey folks. Its been a few years since I've gone up the El Oso Rd. way to Four Peaks. I know my Sonoma can make it just fine but does anyone think a Prius would have any trouble-- the gas mileage and air conditioning make my friend's car a hopeful option but it rides a little low. I seem to remember going that route a few years ago and bottoming out a few times in a buddy's sedan. What's the word?

Driving slow, there shouldn't be too much of a problem

I second that; just went up there Sunday. El Oso via 188 is good. There are some deeper ruts in the road but if you go slow I don't think you'd have a problem.

I ended up taking my truck up there instead of having my friend take the Prius. Her Prius sits pretty low and I definitely think there would have been a couple sketchy spots for it. A regular car is no problem, though. Of course, my truck did overheat on the way up so maybe the Prius would have been just as well.
